near-home A! YOU are quite flexible!!!!

A. I'm kinda laughing because I just realized that we may have had our broken bed experience on the same day last week. I was thinking it was Monday but it very well could have been Tuesday also. That is too funny. I also felt very expanded when I stepped to or through the floor!

I see you must have started rereading the sutras. I saw your recent post on yoga forum you made some good points. I read your dream also about feeling a rope or cord pulling you up and into differing yoga asanas. It is amazing that you have never attempted the scorpion yet after that dream you were able to! I received the pics you sent me of you in Vrischikasana (scorpion pose) amazing truly for someone your size and experience! Your mind must be quite flexible? as is your body!!

I have been practicing about 12 years, teaching for 5. I am affiliated with Int'l Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres. I have never seen anyone complete an advanced posture like that with such little training. I would reccommend that you hold it for no more than thirty seconds to begin with as breathing may be difficult and prana is strong! take your time with the stages! Retain the breath inside while assuming Sirshasana and while going into the final position. Breathe normally in Sirshasana. As the neck, shoulders and spine are extended in this pose, breathing may be fast and heavy. However, try to breathe normally in the final position. When starting to practice Vrischikasana the legs may be lowered in stages. Practice against a wall if need be! Stick around yoga forum for a while.

pranams!
